GI BMPs and low impact development (LID) should be utilized to meet the goal of maintaining natural hydrology to reduce stormwater runoff volume, reduce erosion, encourage infiltration and groundwater recharge, and reduce pollution. GI BMPs and LID should be developed based upon physical site conditions and the origin, nature and the anticipated quantity, or amount, of potential pollutants. Structural and GI BMPs should be integrated with nonstructural stormwater management strategies and LID along with proper maintenance plans. Nonstructural strategies include both environmentally sensitive site design and source controls that prevent pollutants from being placed on the site or from being exposed to stormwater. Source control plans should be developed based upon physical site conditions and the origin, nature, and the anticipated quantity or amount of potential pollutants. Multiple stormwater management BMPs may be necessary to achieve the established performance standards for water quality, quantity, and groundwater recharge.

Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to establish minimum stormwater management requirements and controls for development, including "major development," as defined in § 40-202.

Applicability. This Ordinance shall be applicable to the following:

Compatibility. Planning and/or Zoning Board development approvals issued for subdivisions and site plans, pursuant to this Ordinance, are to be considered an integral part of any land use development approvals under the subdivision and site plan review process and do not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to secure required permits or approvals for activities regulated by any other applicable code, rule, act, or ordinance. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Ordinance shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare. This Ordinance is not intended to interfere with, abrogate, or annul any other ordinances, rule or regulation, statute, or other provision of law except that, where any provision of this Ordinance imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other Ordinance, rule or regulation, or other provision of law, the more restrictive provisions or higher standards shall control.

Stormwater management measures for major development shall be designed to provide erosion control, groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quantity control, and stormwater runoff quality treatment as follows:

The standards in this ordinance apply only to new major development and are intended to minimize the impact of stormwater runoff on water quality and water quantity in receiving water bodies and maintain groundwater recharge. The standards do not apply to new major development to the extent that alternative design and performance standards are applicable under the Cooper River Regional Stormwater Management Plan and amendments (2004, amended 2006) and similar regional plans, adopted in accordance with NJDEP rules.

Applicability. The repaving, repairing (excluding the repair of individual potholes), resurfacing (including top coating or chip sealing with asphalt emulsion or a thin base of hot bitumen), reconstructing or altering of any surface that is in direct contact with an existing storm drain inlet on private property.

Exceptions. The following shall be exempt from storm drain inlet retrofit:

Design standard. Storm drain inlets identified in § 40-516D.1, above, shall comply with § 40-516E.16.c.

Enforcement. The compliance of retrofitting existing storm drain inlets, § 40-516D, shall be enforced by the Zoning Officer in accordance with Article XI.

Maintenance plan. Development shall incorporate a Maintenance Plan for the stormwater management measures incorporated into the design of a major development, in accordance with § 40-516J.

Habitat protection. Stormwater management measures shall avoid adverse impacts of concentrated flow on habitat for threatened and endangered species, as documented in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Landscape Project or Natural Heritage Database, established under N.J.S.A. 13:1B-15.147 through 13:1B-15.150, particularly helonias bullata (swamp pink) and/or clemmys muhlenbergi (bog turtle).

Exemptions. The following linear development projects are exempt from the groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quantity, and stormwater runoff quality requirements of § 40-516E.17 and § 40-516E.18:

Waiver. A waiver from strict compliance with the green infrastructure, groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quantity, and stormwater runoff quality requirements of § 40-516E.15, § 40-516E.17 and § 40-516E.18 may be obtained for the enlargement of an existing public roadway or railroad; or the construction or enlargement of a public pedestrian access, provided that the applicant requesting the waiver can demonstrate the following conditions are met:

Tables 5.13A through C below summarize the ability of stormwater best management practices (BMP) identified and described in the New Jersey Stormwater Best Management Practices (NJ BMP) Manual to satisfy the green infrastructure, groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quality and stormwater runoff quantity standards specified in § 40-516E.15, § 40-516E.17 and § 40-516E.18. When designed in accordance with the most current version of the NJ BMP Manual, the stormwater management measures found at N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.2(f) Tables 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3 and listed below in Tables 5.13A, 5.13B, and 5.13C are presumed to be capable of providing stormwater controls for the design and performance standards as outlined in the tables below. Upon amendments of the New Jersey Stormwater BMP to reflect additions or deletions of BMPs meeting these standards, or changes in the presumed performance of BMPs designed in accordance with the New Jersey Stormwater BMP Manual, the Department shall publish in the New Jersey Register a notice of administrative change revising the applicable table. The most current version of the BMP Manual can be found on the Department's website at: https://njstormwater.org/bmp_manual2.htm

Where the BMP tables in the NJ Stormwater Management Rule are different due to updates or amendments with the tables in this ordinance the BMP Tables in the Stormwater Management rule at N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.2(f) shall take precedence.

An alternative stormwater management measure, alternative removal rate, and/or alternative method to calculate the removal rate may be used if the design engineer demonstrates the capability of the proposed alternative stormwater management measure and/or the validity of the alternative rate or method to the municipality. A copy of any approved alternative stormwater management measure, alternative removal rate, and/or alternative method to calculate the removal rate shall be provided to the Department in accordance with § 40-516K.2. Alternative stormwater management measures may be used to satisfy the requirements at § 40-516E.15 only if the measures meet the definition of green infrastructure at § 40-202. Alternative stormwater management measures that function in a similar manner to a BMP listed at § 40-516E.15.b are subject to the contributory drainage area limitation specified at § 40-516E.15.b for that similarly functioning BMP. Alternative stormwater management measures approved in accordance with this subsection that do not function in a similar manner to any BMP listed at § 40-516E.15.b shall have a contributory drainage area less than or equal to 2.5 acres, except for alternative stormwater management measures that function similarly to cisterns, grass swales, green roofs, standard constructed wetlands, vegetative filter strips, and wet ponds, which are not subject to a contributory drainage area limitation. Alternative measures that function similarly to standard constructed wetlands or wet ponds shall not be used for compliance with the stormwater runoff quality standard unless a variance in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:8-4.6 or a waiver from strict compliance in accordance with § 40-516E.4 is granted from § 40-516E.15.

Whenever the stormwater management design includes one or more BMPs that will infiltrate stormwater into subsoil, the design engineer shall assess the hydraulic impact on the groundwater table and design the site, so as to avoid adverse hydraulic impacts. Potential adverse hydraulic impacts include, but are not limited to, exacerbating a naturally or seasonally high water table, so as to cause surficial ponding, flooding of basements, or interference with the proper operation of subsurface sewage disposal systems or other subsurface structures within the zone of influence of the groundwater mound, or interference with the proper functioning of the stormwater management measure itself.

Design standards for stormwater management measures are as follows:

Manufactured treatment devices may be used to meet the requirements of this section, provided the pollutant removal rates are verified by the New Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology and certified by the Department. Manufactured treatment devices that do not meet the definition of green infrastructure at § 40-202 may be used only under the circumstances described at § 40-516E.15.d.

Any application for a new agricultural development that meets the definition of major development at § 40-202 shall be submitted to the Soil Conservation District for review and approval in accordance with the requirements at § 40-516E.15, § 40-516E.17 and § 40-516E.18 and any applicable Soil Conservation District guidelines for stormwater runoff quantity and erosion control. For purposes of this subsection, "agricultural development" means land uses normally associated with the production of food, fiber, and livestock for sale. Such uses do not include the development of land for the processing or sale of food and the manufacture of agriculturally related products.

If there is more than one drainage area, the groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quality, and stormwater runoff quantity standards at § 40-516E.17 and § 40-516E.18 shall be met in each drainage area, unless the runoff from the drainage areas converge on-site and no adverse environmental impact would occur as a result of compliance with any one or more of the individual standards being determined utilizing a weighted average of the results achieved for that individual standard across the affected drainage areas.

Any stormwater management measure authorized under the municipal stormwater management plan or ordinance shall be reflected in a deed notice recorded in the Camden County Clerk's office. A form of deed notice shall be submitted to the municipality for approval prior to filing.

The deed notice shall contain a description of the stormwater management measure(s) used to meet the green infrastructure, groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quality, and stormwater runoff quantity standards at § 40-516E.15, § 40-516E.17 and § 40-516E.18 and shall identify the location of the stormwater management measure(s) in NAD 1983 State Plane New Jersey FIPS 2900 US Feet or Latitude and Longitude in decimal degrees. The deed notice shall also reference the maintenance plan required to be recorded upon the deed pursuant to § 40-516J.1.c.iii.
